Key inspirations, materials, colors in the collection you are presenting at Palazzo Morando

"The collection is built on the same foundation as the rest of my work: architectural, primal and primitive, and artisanal elements. For a long time I was fascinated by an ancient Sudanese/African underground trance sub-culture dealing with trauma, hysteria and relief. Recently, I learnt that a similar sub-culture exists in South Italy - Tarantella or Taranta. I thought this is an opportune moment to marry this element into my work to present it in Italy at Palazzo Morando. Black, white and off-white are my staple colours, and this season I added an oily-green to the mix."

Your biggest dream and your projects for the future"I am really happy to return to Milan for the second time to present another collection. I had a lot of support from Italy and Vogue Italia since I started and I am very humbled to be invited to Palazzo Morando. One day in the near future I hope to move my production and manufacturing to Italy."
